Earth
Sand slips through fingers
a harvest of empty in
this incessant drought
Water
Sea swallows the land
the plastic tide on the crest
as ancient clans drown
Air
Blown pockets of gas
lungs burning and skin scorched dry
urban nomads flinch
Fire
Earth blistering fire
planetary reset as
she births a new age
